very odd interpretation of snow white featuring betty boop. granted, most betty boop animations put me in kind of a weird spot, with all of the singing flowers and dancing cows and everything else. this one happens to be exceptionally 'out there'.

so i watched seth's post about the screen printing and decided to watch more of those guys' videos... i started watching the one about making a messenger bag out of plastic bags. it was pretty cool. i'm probably gonna make one out of that sign stuff in the classroom. ANYWAY!-- i downloaded the pdf instructions about it and came across these cool links about UPCYCLING: more than recycling, its making cool and useful and artful things out of trash. like a REBIRTH of crap. so watch this video and follow the links to find the cool stuff.

(Sorry if it lags. It did a little bit when I was watching...)This is a music video of IS(Infinity of Sound - I personally never heard of them before though), and the title is "Spring (=[bom] in Korean)."The phrases "Spring has come" and "Spring wind(=[baram]) is blowing" repeatedly come out throughout the lyrics.

The instruments the girls are playing are all Korean traditional instruments.

the kinetic art of theo jansen. he creates large-scale wind-driven sculptures from small, plastic tubes and apparently hopes to have large, autonomous herds of them someday roaming the beaches. more videos at strandbeest.com

(Some of the stuffs are true, some are not. Don't believe on everything it says!)This is a short documentary (it's supposed to be comical) about the sushi culture in Japan.I think they have a whole bunch of series of these documentaries on Youtube.

This is an excerpt from Azur and Asmar, a film by Michel Ocelot. He's a very popular French animator, and this is his first film using computers. It's interesting to see how he maintains a very 2D style, though.
